After the Folk Music Festival in Siglufjörður, July 2007, where Steindór is a regular guest, another guest musician at the festival, Evan Harlan of the group Andromeda, impressed with Steindór's chanting of the rímur, composed the piece "Steindór Gets the Blues". The music was premiered in Boston, the home of the Icelandic-American group, later the same month.
